NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Visualizing Solid Shapes - Topic 10.4 Faces, Edges and Vertices

Question:1 Tabulate the number of faces, edges and vertices for the following polyhedrons: (Here ‘V’ stands for number of vertices, ‘F’ stands for number of faces and ‘E’ stands for number of edges).What do you infer from the last two columns? In each case, do you find, i.e., ? This relationship is called Euler’s formula. In fact this formula is true for any polyhedron.

Answer:

Class 8 visualizing solid shapes ncert solutions - exercise: 10.3

Question:1(i) Can a polyhedron have for its faces

3 triangles?

Answer:

(i) No, a polyhedron cannot have 3 triangles for its faces .

Question:1(ii) Can a polyhedron have for its faces

4 triangles?

Answer:

(ii) Yes, a polyhedron having 4 triangles is pyramid on triangular base.

Question:1(iii) Can a polyhedron have for its faces

a square and four triangles?

Answer:

(iii) Yes, a polyhedron can have faces of a square and four triangles which makes a pyramid on square base.

Question:2 Is it possible to have a polyhedron with any given number of faces? (Hint: Think of a pyramid).

Answer:

Yes , it is possible if the number of faces is four or more than four.

Question:3(i) Which are prisms among the following?

Answer:

(i) a nail is not a prism.

Question:3(ii) Which are prisms among the following?

Answer:

(ii) The unsharpened pencil is a prism.

Question:3(iii) Which are prisms among the following?

Answer:

(iii) Table weight is not a prism.

Question:3(iv) Which are prisms among the following?

Answer:

(iv) Given box is a prism.

Question:4(i) How are prisms and cylinders alike?

Answer:

(i) A prism is a polyhedron whose base and top are congruent polygons and whose other faces, i.e., lateral faces are parallelograms in shape. Also, the cylinder has base on top and bottom and faces are parallel.

Question:5 Is a square prism same as a cube? Explain.

Answer:

No , not always, because it can be a cuboid also when extended.

Question:6(i) Verify Euler’s formula for these solids.

Answer:

(i) Euler formula F+V = E + 2.

So, Number of faces (F) = 7, Number of vertices (V) = 10 and number of edges (E) = 15.

Hence putting in the formula; we get,

7 + 10 = 15 + 2

17 = 17 hence, it satisfies the Euler formula.

Question:6(ii) Verify Euler’s formula for these solids. Answer:

(ii) Euler formula F+V = E + 2.

So, Number of faces (F) = 9, Number of vertices (V) = 9 and number of edges (E) = 16.

Hence putting in the formula; we get,

9 + 9 = 16 + 2

18 = 18 hence, it satisfies the Euler formula.

Question:7 Using Euler’s formula find the unknown.

Answer:

We know the Euler Formula:

F + V = E + 2 :

hence we can easily find the unknown let say 'F, V, and E'

So, For Ist case:

F + 6 = 12 + 2 or F = 8, hence the number of faces in Ist case is 8.

For IInd Case;

5 + V = 9 + 2 or V = 6, hence the number of vertices in IInd case is 6.

For IIIrd case;

20 + 12 = E + 2 or E = 30, hence the number of Edges in the IIIrd case is 30.

Question:8 Can a polyhedron have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices?

Answer:

Checking using Euler's Formula:

F + V = E +2;

Given that F = 10, V = 15 and E = 20 so,

Putting in equation: 10 + 15 = 35 and 20 +2 = 22

Hence, given polyhedron having 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices is not possible.
